Coach Bio
Fraser Thom

I grew up in Georgetown, Ontario and played competitive hockey my entire childhood until going off to university. I played AA most of my childhood and was a defenseman. After minor hockey, I played in various adult recreational leagues including the Ottawa Travellers League and the Carleton Adult Men's Hockey League.

Coaching Philosophy

My coaching philosophy is to create a positive environment that focuses on skill development and a lifelong love of hockey. Following Hockey Canada guidelines for this age, the focus will be largely based on technical skills and individual tactics while incorporating concepts related to team play and strategy.

Practices will incorporate stations to work on specific skills and then small area games will be used to refine those skills in various game play settings. Flow drills will be used to bring it all together with some team play elements of the game.

I believe each player responds to different learning styles and it is important  to understand how to connect with each player to maximize their development throughout the year. As this is competitive hockey, I also believe there is an element of commitment, hard work and being a good teammate that is expected at this level. Having a strong work ethic and team first mentality is important and will be a focus of our practices and communication to players.

I believe in clear communication with parents throughout the season which lays out the expectations of families and players as well as updates on our coaching priorities and team focus.
